The film has a 93% fresh rating on the website Rotten Tomatoes and has scored generally positive reviews.

Time magazine called it “a winsome romantic comedy and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags”, and a review in the Wall Street Journal said: “The result is hugely enjoyable, and hooray for Hollywood for making it happen.”

Will there be a sequel?

It has just been revealed that a sequel to Crazy Rich Asians is already in development at Warner Bros.

Director Chu is returning, but so far no other details have been announced.

However, author Kwan’s book was the first of a trilogy, so a sequel could be based on one or both of the other books – China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems.
